A catalytic combustion system that reduces NOx emissions from natural-gas turbines used to generate electricity is being developed for cogeneration systems built by AES Manufacturing Services Inc., Broken Arrow, OK. Each compact unit is mounted on an enclosed semi-trailer and contains two Kawasaki turbines with shaft-driven generators and a single heat-recovery boiler. Its net output is 3 MW of electricity and more than 28,000 lb/hr of high-pressure steam. At an industrial or commercial site where electrical capacity needs exceed 3 MW, several units may be installed in parallel. Currently, AES units can control NOx to about 25 ppm with traditional steam-injection technology. The paper describes conventional firing, testing that is under way, and the companies involved.
